Apple recently launched its latest lineup of devices, including the new MacBook, iMac, and Mac mini, powered by the M4 series chipset. These devices come equipped with the latest Thunderbolt 5 Pro technology, which has just arrived in the Philippines.
The new Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable features a durable, black braided design that reduces tangling, but Apple currently offers it in a single 1-meter length. Many users hope that longer versions will be available soon to accommodate various workspace setups.
This Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable boasts impressive data transfer speeds of up to 120Gb/s—three times faster than its predecessor. Such speeds are especially beneficial for professionals working with large files, ensuring a smoother and more efficient workflow.
For those using older devices, the Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable is also backward-compatible, offering transfer speeds up to 80Gb/s with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB 4 connections. When connected via USB 3, it can still achieve up to 10Gb/s transfer speeds, making it versatile across a range of devices.
In terms of display support, the Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable enables Mac devices with Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5 ports to connect seamlessly to high-resolution displays like the Studio Display and Pro Display XDR. It also works with docks, external drives, and Apple devices with USB-C ports, including iPhones and iPads.
Additionally, this cable supports up to 240W of power delivery, making it suitable for charging power-hungry devices, and allows users to daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt devices, expanding connectivity options for professional setups.
